The Best Places To Drink Wine In Dublin

It's not just Dublin cafés on a constant pivot to small plates and wine by night - the wine shops are at it now too. Are we complaining? Definitely not, but it’s ever more important to know who's got the good stuff, who's giving you decent value btg, and who's got the food to go with it. Here’s the latest ATF guide on where to drink great wine in Dublin...

City centre and surrounds

Bar Pez, Kevin Street

A more casual counterpoint to its older sister Fish Shop, Bar Pez joined the family in 2023 and has maintained a bustle and buzz ever since with its Spanish bar vibes. The deep wine list is even more eclectically themed than its sibling, with the upper end of things offering excellent value if you’ve got something to celebrate.

Loose Canon, Drury Street

Uber-cool Loose Canon has been an essential part of the Drury Street scene since kicking off a wave of wine bars all the way back in 2018, which brought natural wine to the Dublin masses. Their by the glass rotation always throws up some curveballs, and the bottles (with €15 corkage if you’re drinking in) give even more variety – ask about their chilled reds. Their toasties and cheese plates are some of the most satisfying city centre snacks going.

Margadh RHA, Ely Place

If you book dinner at Margadh RHA you'll need to order a minimum of two courses, but they welcome spontaneous stop offs for a glass of wine and some snacks. Their coravin selection is very tempting, as are the truffle bonbons with cauliflower and parmesan.
